Colonel Killing

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Colonel Killing is a character from the anime, Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket. Killing is a ruthless and intimidating Zeon officer. Killing launches Operation Rubicon in December of U.C. 0079 in an attempt to capture the Earth Federation's newest mobile suit, Gundam Alex. When Operation Rubicon fails, Killing usurps his commanding officer and prepares a nuclear attack on Side 6. Killing orders the launch for 12:00 am on Christmas Day to be carried out by Von Helsing's fleet. Federation forces capture Von Helsing's fleet a few hours before the proposed launch and secure the nuclear weapons. Although Killing was part of Kycilia Zabi's Mobile Assault Force, Killing's true loyalties seem to be toward Gihren Zabi. In MS ERA, when hearing of the death of Gihren Zabi, Colonel Killing immediately commits suicide in front of his portrait.
